important to define an introduction target and assume an introduction scenario
with low cost.
4. Germany, the pioneer of the FIT system, avoided serious problems by increasing
the frequency of purchase price revisions, segmenting the purchase price, and
encouraging small-scale, rooftop solar power generation. This is closely related to
natural resource endowment and the developed power grid in Germany, as well as
appropriate system revisions such as reducing high purchase prices.
5. Since the environments in which renewable energy is introduced are different, it
is very important for Japan to learn from Germany’s experience and design a
system in line with environmental conditions in Japan.
